This is really useful, thanks Magnus, otherwise I thought I was going to have to put Wikidata in RAM myself.

Subject: Re: [Wikidata-l] Counting sitelinks of subclasses. This: http://208.80.153.172/api?q=claim[279]&props=279 will give you all the items that have the "subclass of" property, and the respective item they are a subclass of. Enough to make a subclass tree for all of Wikidata. You'll have to get the labels and page counts yourself ;-) On Tue, Sep 24, 2013 at 4:27 PM, Denny Vrande?i? <denny.vrandecic@wikimedia.de<mailto:denny.vrandecic@wikimedia.de>> wrote: I would be surprised if that theory held true. I expect that both very abstract (fruit) and extremely specific (golden delicious) items would have a lower sitelink count than the "golden layer of most useful terms" (apple) in the hierarchy (I am reminded of the theory of word length and term frequency in linguistics). But I would assume that indeed in the subclass hierarchy that Wikidata will eventually exhibit would have such a "golden layer" (and that these terms are not randomly distributed over the hierarchy). Would be fun to examine :) Cheers, Denny 2013/9/24 Klein,Max <kleinm@oclc.org<mailto:kleinm@oclc.org>> Hello All, It struck me that one interesting way to see if subclasses are useful was to test this hypothesis. Let QID_a and QID_b be two Wikidata items. Conjecture: if QID_b is subclass of QID_a, then count_stelinks(QID_b) <= count_sitelinks(QID_a). Has anyone investigated this problem, or can think of an efficient way to test it? Or can tell me why it ought not to be true?
